激光雷达及其发射装置Lidar and its launching device 技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及激光雷达技术领域,尤其是涉及激光雷达及其发射装置。The present invention relates to the technical field of laser radar, in particular to laser radar and its launching device.
背景技术Background technique
无人驾驶汽车是通过车载传感系统感知道路环境,自动规划行车路线并控制车辆到达预定目标的智能汽车。它是利用车载传感器来感知车辆周围环境,并根据感知所获得的道路、车辆位置和障碍物信息,控制车辆的转向和速度,从而使车辆能够安全、可靠地在道路上行驶。An unmanned car is a smart car that senses the road environment through the on-board sensor system, automatically plans the driving route and controls the vehicle to reach a predetermined goal. It uses on-board sensors to perceive the surrounding environment of the vehicle, and controls the steering and speed of the vehicle based on the road, vehicle location, and obstacle information obtained from the perception, so that the vehicle can safely and reliably drive on the road.
车载传感器是实现无人驾驶汽车所必需的车载设备。其中,激光雷达具有探测距离远、分辨率高、受环境干扰小等特点,是无人驾驶汽车所不可或缺的车载设备。激光雷达的工作原理大致如下:激光雷达的发射器发射出一束激光,激光光束遇到物体后,经过漫反射,返回至激光接收器,雷达模块根据发送和接收信号的时间间隔乘以光速,再除以2,即可计算出发射器与物体的距离。除了距离信息之外,激光雷达还可以获取目标物体的其它信息,例如,方位、速度、大小、形状、反射率等。On-board sensors are necessary on-board equipment to realize driverless cars. Among them, lidar has the characteristics of long detection range, high resolution, and little environmental interference, and is an indispensable vehicle-mounted device for driverless cars. The working principle of the lidar is roughly as follows: the transmitter of the lidar emits a laser beam. After the laser beam encounters an object, it undergoes diffuse reflection and returns to the laser receiver. The radar module multiplies the speed of light by the time interval of sending and receiving signals. Divide by 2 to calculate the distance between the transmitter and the object. In addition to distance information, lidar can also obtain other information about the target object, such as orientation, speed, size, shape, and reflectivity.
早期的激光雷达是单线激光雷达,也就是只有一个激光器和探测器,其扫描的目标范围有限,容易造成检测目标的缺失。为了弥补单线激光雷达的缺点,多线激光雷达越来越成为研究和商用的焦点。Early lidars were single-line lidars, that is, there was only one laser and detector, and the range of scanning targets was limited, which easily caused the lack of detection targets. In order to make up for the shortcomings of single-line lidar, multi-line lidar has increasingly become the focus of research and commercial use.
但是现有多线激光雷达往往存在成本高昂、能耗过大的问题。However, the existing multi-line lidar often has the problems of high cost and excessive energy consumption.

图1示出了本发明实施例中一种摆镜的结构示意图,该摆镜用于对入射光束进行偏折,参考图1可见,该摆镜包括:壳体10、片状摆动部件11及驱动部件14。为便于清楚描述,选择壳体10的相对较长的一侧边或者一侧面量度壳体10的高度,壳体10在高度的延伸方向称作为高度方向,图1中高度方向上的箭头的指向为高度方向的上部或者顶端或者顶部,箭头的反向为高度方向的下部或者底端或者底部;选择壳体10的相对尺寸最短的另一侧边或者侧面量度壳体10的深度或厚度,而壳体10在深度或厚度的延伸方向称作为前后方向,图1中前后方向上的箭头的指向为前后方向的前部或者前端或者前方,箭头的反向为前后方向的后部或者后端或者后方。当然,在具体实施中,本领域技术人员可以根据使用场景和装配的需要,调整上述方位指向的定义,此处的举例并不用以限定本申请的保护范围。Figure 1 shows a schematic structural diagram of a pendulum mirror in an embodiment of the present invention. The pendulum mirror is used to deflect incident light beams. With reference to Figure 1, it can be seen that the pendulum mirror includes a housing 10, a sheet-shaped pendulum member 11, and Driving part 14. To facilitate clear description, choose the relatively long side or one side of the housing 10 to measure the height of the housing 10. The extension direction of the housing 10 in the height is called the height direction. The arrow in the height direction in FIG. It is the upper part or top or top of the height direction, and the reverse of the arrow is the lower part or bottom or bottom of the height direction; the other side or side of the housing 10 with the shortest relative size is selected to measure the depth or thickness of the housing 10, and The direction in which the housing 10 extends in depth or thickness is referred to as the front-rear direction. The arrow in the front-rear direction in FIG. rear. Of course, in specific implementations, those skilled in the art can adjust the definition of the above orientation according to the usage scenarios and assembly requirements, and the examples here are not used to limit the protection scope of the present application.
为了便于片状摆动部件11的安装,在该壳体10的顶部(高度方向的上部)和底部(高度方向的下部)的内侧分别设置有第一限位槽12和第二限位槽13,该第一限位槽12和该第二限位槽13的行程宽度的延伸方向与该摆镜的反射面110相互平行,相对应地,该片状摆动部件11的顶端111和底端112分别卡接于该第一限位槽12和该第二限位槽13之内。In order to facilitate the installation of the sheet-shaped swinging member 11, a first limiting groove 12 and a second limiting groove 13 are respectively provided inside the top (upper in the height direction) and the bottom (lower in the height direction) of the housing 10, The extension directions of the stroke widths of the first limiting groove 12 and the second limiting groove 13 and the reflecting surface 110 of the swing mirror are parallel to each other. Correspondingly, the top end 111 and the bottom end 112 of the sheet-shaped swinging member 11 are respectively It is clamped in the first limiting slot 12 and the second limiting slot 13.
在具体实施中,可以采用金属(比如高强度的合金)和非金属两种材料,或者只是采用非金属材料,来作为第一限位槽12和第二限位槽13的材质,因此可以提高限位槽的精度和长期稳定性。在生产中,可以采用铣削等工艺对原料进行加工,来制作得到第一限位槽12和第二限位槽13。In specific implementations, two materials, metal (such as high-strength alloys) and non-metallic materials can be used, or only non-metallic materials can be used as the material of the first limiting groove 12 and the second limiting groove 13, thus improving The accuracy and long-term stability of the limit slot. In production, the raw materials can be processed by processes such as milling to produce the first limit slot 12 and the second limit slot 13.
需要说明的是,由于若片状摆动部件11的端部(顶端111和/或 底端112)可以在限位槽内沿着前后方向产生移动,则相应有行程的概念,故此处的行程宽度是以片状摆动部件11的端部(顶端111和/或底端112)的运动来进行的定义。It should be noted that if the ends (top end 111 and/or bottom end 112) of the sheet-like swinging member 11 can move in the front and rear directions in the limit groove, there is a concept of stroke accordingly, so the stroke width here It is defined by the movement of the ends (top end 111 and/or bottom end 112) of the sheet-like swinging member 11.
在具体实施中,该第一限位槽12和该第二限位槽13中至少之一在该壳体10的前后方向上的行程宽度不为零,具体包括以下三种情况:第一限位槽12在前后方向的行程宽度为零,第二限位槽13在前后方向的行程宽度不为零;第一限位槽12在前后方向的行程宽度不为零,第二限位槽13在前后方向的行程宽度为零;第一限位槽12在前后方向的行程宽度不为零,第二限位槽13在前后方向的行程宽度也不为零。而限位槽在该壳体10的前后方向上的行程宽度为零,则表示该片状摆动部件11的对应端无法在该限位槽内进行沿着壳体10的前后方向上的移动,也就说明该片状摆动部件11的对应端在前后方向呈现出的厚度大概等于对应限位槽在前后方向呈现出的深度。In a specific implementation, the stroke width of at least one of the first limiting slot 12 and the second limiting slot 13 in the front and rear direction of the housing 10 is not zero, which specifically includes the following three situations: The stroke width of the bit slot 12 in the front and rear direction is zero, and the stroke width of the second limit slot 13 in the front and rear direction is not zero; the stroke width of the first limit slot 12 in the front and rear direction is not zero, and the second limit slot 13 The stroke width in the front and rear direction is zero; the stroke width of the first limit slot 12 in the front and rear direction is not zero, and the stroke width of the second limit slot 13 in the front and rear direction is also not zero. And the stroke width of the limit groove in the front and rear direction of the housing 10 is zero, which means that the corresponding end of the sheet-like swing member 11 cannot move in the limit groove in the front and rear direction of the housing 10. It also means that the thickness of the corresponding end of the sheet-like swing member 11 in the front and rear direction is approximately equal to the depth of the corresponding limit groove in the front and rear direction.
举例而言,如图1中,第一限位槽12在该壳体10的前后方向上的行程宽度为零(片状摆动部件11的厚度大概等于第一限位槽12的深度),则片状摆动部件11的顶端111直接固定地卡接于第一限位槽12内,片状摆动部件11的顶端111可以在第一限位槽12内摆动,但是无法在第一限位槽12内沿着前后方向有位置上的移动。而第二限位槽13在该壳体10的前后方向上的行程宽度不为零(片状摆动部件11的厚度小于第二限位槽13的深度),第二限位槽13最左边为左端A,最右边为右端B,则片状摆动部件11的底端112虽卡接于第二限位槽13内,但片状摆动部件11的底端112可以在第二限位槽13内沿着前后方向有位置上的移动,比如片状摆动部件11的底端112可以从左端A移动至右端B。For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the stroke width of the first limiting groove 12 in the front-rear direction of the housing 10 is zero (the thickness of the sheet-like swing member 11 is approximately equal to the depth of the first limiting groove 12), then The top end 111 of the sheet-shaped swinging member 11 is directly and fixedly clamped in the first limiting slot 12, and the top end 111 of the sheet-shaped swinging member 11 can swing in the first limiting slot 12, but cannot be in the first limiting slot 12. There is positional movement inside along the front and rear directions. The stroke width of the second limiting groove 13 in the front and rear direction of the housing 10 is not zero (the thickness of the sheet-like swinging member 11 is less than the depth of the second limiting groove 13), and the leftmost side of the second limiting groove 13 is The left end A, the rightmost end B is the right end B. Although the bottom end 112 of the sheet-like swinging member 11 is clamped in the second limiting slot 13, the bottom end 112 of the sheet-like swinging member 11 can be in the second limiting slot 13 There is positional movement along the front and rear directions, for example, the bottom end 112 of the sheet-like swinging member 11 can move from the left end A to the right end B.
为了实现该片状摆动部件11在该壳体10内的摆动,可以通过驱动部件14来驱动该片状摆动部件11的端部(顶端111和/或底端112)在限位槽(第一限位槽12和/或第二限位槽13)内沿着前后方向产生移动。In order to realize the swing of the sheet-like swinging component 11 in the housing 10, the end (top end 111 and/or bottom end 112) of the sheet-like swinging component 11 can be driven in the limit slot (first The inside of the limiting slot 12 and/or the second limiting slot 13) moves along the front and rear directions.
另外,在本发明一实施例中,该片状摆动部件11的前方的表面具 有反射面110,该反射面110可以用于偏折该入射光束。当然在另一实施例中,也可以在该片状摆动部件11的前方表面贴合反射镜,采用该反射镜用于偏折该入射光束。可以理解的是,当摆镜中的片状摆动部件11在该第一限位槽12和/或该第二限位槽13之内摆动时,在不同的时刻,片状摆动部件11的顶端111及底端112会位于不同的位置,进而会产生摆动位置的不同组合,而片状摆动部件11会带动反射面110或者反射镜产生相对于雷达的垂直方向的不同倾角。比如,在t1时刻,片状摆动部件11的顶端111处于a1点(未示出),底端112处于b1点(未示出),反射面110或者反射镜与垂直方向的夹角为α1;在t2时刻,片状摆动部件11的顶端111处于a2点(未示出),底端112处于b2点(未示出),反射面110或者反射镜与激光雷达的垂直方向的夹角为α2≠α1。因此,本申请中的摆镜可以将一束入射光束偏折形成多束垂直视场角不同的探测光束,故能够有效减少激光雷达中激光器的数量,达到降低成本、简化结构以及降低安装难度的目的。In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, the front surface of the sheet-shaped swinging member 11 has a reflective surface 110, and the reflective surface 110 can be used to deflect the incident light beam. Of course, in another embodiment, a reflector can also be attached to the front surface of the sheet-shaped swinging member 11, and the reflector is used to deflect the incident light beam. It can be understood that when the sheet-shaped swinging member 11 in the swing mirror swings in the first limiting groove 12 and/or the second limiting slot 13, at different moments, the top end of the sheet-shaped swinging member 11 111 and the bottom end 112 will be located at different positions, which will result in different combinations of swing positions, and the sheet-shaped swing member 11 will drive the reflecting surface 110 or the reflecting mirror to produce different inclination angles relative to the vertical direction of the radar. For example, at time t1, the top end 111 of the sheet-like swinging member 11 is at point a1 (not shown), the bottom end 112 is at point b1 (not shown), and the angle between the reflecting surface 110 or the mirror and the vertical is α1; At time t2, the top end 111 of the sheet-like swinging member 11 is at point a2 (not shown), the bottom end 112 is at point b2 (not shown), and the angle between the vertical direction of the reflecting surface 110 or the mirror and the lidar is α2 ≠α1. Therefore, the swing mirror in the present application can deflect an incident beam to form multiple detection beams with different vertical field angles, so it can effectively reduce the number of lasers in the lidar, thereby reducing cost, simplifying the structure, and reducing installation difficulty. purpose.
为了将一束入射光束偏折形成更多束垂直视场角不同的探测光束,在具体实施中,所述第一限位槽和所述第二限位槽在所述壳体的前后方向上的行程宽度可以均不为零。图2示出了本发明实施例中的另一种摆镜的结构示意图,在图2中,第一限位槽22与第二限位槽23在壳体10的前后方向上的行程宽度相同且不为零,且驱动部件拆分为两个子部件,该两个子部件分别用以独立驱动片状摆动部件的顶端111和底端112。In order to deflect one incident beam to form more detection beams with different vertical field angles, in specific implementation, the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove are in the front and rear directions of the housing The stroke width can be non-zero. FIG. 2 shows a schematic structural diagram of another swing mirror in an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 2, the stroke widths of the first limiting groove 22 and the second limiting groove 23 in the front and rear direction of the housing 10 are the same It is not zero, and the driving part is split into two sub-parts, and the two sub-parts are used to independently drive the top end 111 and the bottom end 112 of the sheet-shaped swinging part.
参考图2可见,该驱动部件包括:第一磁性部件141、第二磁性部件142、第一驱动装置143及第二驱动装置144。详细地说,第一磁性部件141贴附于该片状摆动部件且相对更靠近该片状摆动部件的顶端111,第一驱动装置143固定设置于该壳体10的内部,与该第一磁性部件141相对且间隔设置,当施加第一驱动信号至第一驱动装置143后,该第一驱动装置143与该第一磁性部件141彼此之间产生作用力,并呈现为第一驱动装置143在壳体10的前后方向上推拉该第一磁性部件141,从而带动该片状摆动部件的顶端111在该第一限位槽22内摆动或者说移动。同理,第二磁性部件142设置于该片状摆动部件上相对更靠近底端 112的位置,第二驱动装置144固定设置于该壳体10的内部,并与该第二磁性部件142相对且间隔设置,当在该第二驱动装置144上施加第二驱动信号之后,第二驱动装置144能够推拉该第二磁性部件142,并带动该片状摆动部件的底端112在该第二限位槽23内摆动。Referring to FIG. 2, it can be seen that the driving component includes: a first magnetic component 141, a second magnetic component 142, a first driving device 143 and a second driving device 144. In detail, the first magnetic component 141 is attached to the sheet-like swinging component and is relatively closer to the top end 111 of the sheet-like swinging component. The first driving device 143 is fixedly arranged inside the housing 10 and is connected to the first magnetic The components 141 are arranged opposite and spaced apart. When the first driving signal is applied to the first driving device 143, the first driving device 143 and the first magnetic component 141 generate a force between each other, and appear as the first driving device 143 at The first magnetic component 141 is pushed and pulled in the front-rear direction of the housing 10 to drive the top end 111 of the sheet-shaped swinging component to swing or move in the first limiting slot 22. In the same way, the second magnetic member 142 is disposed on the sheet-like swinging member relatively closer to the bottom end 112, and the second driving device 144 is fixedly disposed inside the housing 10 and opposite to the second magnetic member 142. It is arranged at intervals. After the second driving signal is applied to the second driving device 144, the second driving device 144 can push and pull the second magnetic component 142, and drive the bottom end 112 of the sheet-shaped swinging component to the second limit position. The groove 23 swings.
在具体实施中,可以采用第一电磁线圈作为该第一驱动装置143,第一磁钢作为该第一磁性部件141,然后该第一电磁线圈被设置成能够通过电流驱动来推拉该磁钢;相对应地,采用第二电磁线圈为第二驱动装置144,第二磁钢作为该第二磁性部件142,该第二电磁线圈被设置成能够通过电流驱动来推拉该第二磁钢。In a specific implementation, a first electromagnetic coil may be used as the first driving device 143, and a first magnetic steel may be used as the first magnetic component 141, and then the first electromagnetic coil is configured to be able to push and pull the magnetic steel through current driving; Correspondingly, a second electromagnetic coil is used as the second driving device 144, and a second magnetic steel is used as the second magnetic component 142, and the second electromagnetic coil is configured to be able to push and pull the second magnetic steel through current driving.
为了进一步提高摆镜对于入射光束偏折扩充线束的能力,在具体实施中,该第一限位槽的行程宽度与该第二限位槽的行程宽度可以设置为并不相同。图3示出了本发明实施例中的另一种摆镜的结构示意图,在图3中,第一限位槽32在壳体30的前后方向上的行程宽度为T1,第二限位槽33在壳体30的前后方向上的行程宽度为T2。In order to further improve the ability of the swing mirror to deflect and expand the wire harness for the incident beam, in specific implementation, the stroke width of the first limiting groove and the stroke width of the second limiting groove may be set to be different. FIG. 3 shows a schematic structural diagram of another swing mirror in an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 3, the stroke width of the first limiting groove 32 in the front and rear direction of the housing 30 is T1, and the second limiting groove The stroke width of 33 in the front-rear direction of the housing 30 is T2.
并且,为了降低器件的复杂度及雷达的成本,本发明实施例中的摆镜的片状摆动部件11可以具有四个摆动状态,且只有在该四个摆动状态下才会进行光束的偏转。具体地,四个摆动状态分别为:In addition, in order to reduce the complexity of the device and the cost of the radar, the sheet-shaped swing member 11 of the swing mirror in the embodiment of the present invention may have four swing states, and the beam can be deflected only in the four swing states. Specifically, the four swing states are:
第一摆动状态,该第一驱动装置143将该片状摆动部件11的顶端推至与该第一限位槽32的前方突缘D端相抵接,该第二驱动装置144将该片状摆动部件11的底端推至与该第二限位槽33的前方突缘B端相抵接,参考图3A所示。In the first swing state, the first driving device 143 pushes the top end of the sheet-shaped swing member 11 to abut against the front flange D end of the first limiting groove 32, and the second driving device 144 swings the sheet The bottom end of the component 11 is pushed to abut against the front flange B end of the second limiting groove 33, as shown in FIG. 3A.
第二摆动状态,该第一驱动装置143将该片状摆动部件11的顶端推至与该第一限位槽32的前方突缘D端相抵接,该第二驱动装置144将该片状摆动部件11的底端拉至与该第二限位槽33的后方突缘A端相抵接,参考图3B所示。In the second swing state, the first driving device 143 pushes the top end of the sheet-shaped swinging member 11 to abut against the front flange D end of the first limiting groove 32, and the second driving device 144 swings the sheet-shaped swing member 11 The bottom end of the component 11 is pulled to abut against the rear flange A end of the second limiting groove 33, as shown in FIG. 3B.
第三摆动状态,该第一驱动装置143将该片状摆动部件11的顶端拉至与该第一限位槽32的后方突缘C端相抵接,该第二驱动装置144将该片状摆动部件11的底端拉至与该第二限位槽33的后方突缘A端相抵接,参考图3C所示。In the third swing state, the first driving device 143 pulls the top end of the sheet-like swing member 11 to abut against the rear flange C of the first limiting groove 32, and the second driving device 144 swings the sheet The bottom end of the component 11 is pulled to abut against the rear flange A end of the second limiting groove 33, as shown in FIG. 3C.
第四摆动状态,该第一驱动装置143将该片状摆动部件11的顶端拉至与该第一限位槽32的后方突缘C端相抵接,该第二驱动装置144将该片状摆动部件11的底端推至与该第二限位槽33的前方突缘B端相抵接,参考图3D所示。In the fourth swing state, the first driving device 143 pulls the top end of the sheet-shaped swinging member 11 to abut against the rear flange C of the first limiting groove 32, and the second driving device 144 swings the sheet The bottom end of the component 11 is pushed to abut against the front flange B end of the second limiting groove 33, as shown in FIG. 3D.
为了降低摆动状态彼此间切换时对限位槽的损耗,且提高摆镜的可靠性,在本发明一实施例中,该第一限位槽32和/或该第二限位槽33的内部可以分别设置有缓冲衬套34,以对该片状摆动部件11的端部起到一定的缓冲作用。缓冲衬套34可以采用相对有弹性且柔软的材质,比如橡胶。在本发明另一实施例中,与上述实施例中将片状摆动部件11的端(顶端和/或底端)运动至与限位槽(第一限位槽32或第二限位槽33)的前后方的突缘处作为摆动状态的方案不同,可以将片状摆动部件11运动到限位槽的行程宽度的中途位置作为摆动状态,比如位置E处为第一限位槽32内且靠近前方突缘D端的一处,则可以设置在该片状摆动部件11的顶端位于位置E处,且该片状摆动部件11的底端与该第二限位槽33的前方突缘B端相抵接时,作为第一摆动状态。In order to reduce the loss of the limit slot when the swing states are switched between each other, and to improve the reliability of the swing mirror, in an embodiment of the present invention, the inside of the first limit slot 32 and/or the second limit slot 33 Cushion bushes 34 may be respectively provided to provide a certain cushioning effect on the end of the sheet-shaped swing member 11. The cushion bushing 34 may be made of a relatively elastic and soft material, such as rubber. In another embodiment of the present invention, the end (top end and/or bottom end) of the sheet-like swing member 11 is moved to the limit groove (the first limit slot 32 or the second limit slot 33) as in the above embodiment. ) The front and rear flanges are different as the swing state. The sheet-like swing member 11 can be moved to the halfway position of the stroke width of the limit groove as the swing state. For example, the position E is in the first limit groove 32 and A place close to the front flange D end can be set at the top end of the sheet-like swinging member 11 at position E, and the bottom end of the sheet-like swinging member 11 and the front flange B end of the second limiting groove 33 When abutting, it is the first swing state.
在具体实施中,该片状摆动部件11按该第一摆动状态、该第二摆动状态、该第三摆动状态、该第四摆动状态、再回到该第一摆动状态的顺序被依次循环驱动,这样一来,相邻的两次摆动状态进行切换的时候,都只有单端(顶端或者底端)驱动,也就是或者驱动该片状摆动部件11的顶端运动,或者是驱动该片状摆动部件11的底端运动,因此可以降低运动的复杂性,提高雷达的测量精度。In a specific implementation, the sheet-like swing member 11 is cyclically driven in the order of the first swing state, the second swing state, the third swing state, the fourth swing state, and then back to the first swing state. In this way, when the two adjacent swing states are switched, there is only a single-end (top or bottom) drive, that is, either the top of the sheet-like swinging member 11 is driven to move, or the sheet-like swing is driven The bottom end of the component 11 moves, so the complexity of the movement can be reduced and the measurement accuracy of the radar can be improved.
在本发明一实施例中,可以设置第一限位槽32与第二限位槽33的行程宽度存在n倍的关系,n为大于1的自然数即可。具体而言,可以是该第一限位槽32的行程宽度为该第二限位槽33的行程宽度的n倍:T1=n×T2,又或者可以是该第二限位槽33的行程宽度为该第一限位槽32的行程宽度的n倍:T2=n×T1。可以理解的是,第一限位槽32及第二限位槽33的行程宽度的大小关系决定了位于摆动状态之下的片状摆动部件11与垂直方向的夹角,从而决定了反射镜或反射面对光束的偏折大小,进而影响雷达的垂直视场大小,故本领域技术人员可以根据实际 需要,在考虑本发明实施例中的雷达的垂直视场的大小以及拆分需求下,具体设定n的大小。在本发明一实施例中,可以选取n=2,且T1=n×T2,此时对应片状摆动部件11也可以具备4种状态,并且当片状摆动部件11按所述第一摆动状态、所述第二摆动状态、所述第三摆动状态、所述第四摆动状态、再回到所述第一摆动状态的顺序依次循环切换时,相邻摆动状态彼此之间对光束的偏折角度差相同,因此可以相对均匀地偏折光束,从而达到均匀探测。In an embodiment of the present invention, it can be set that there is a relationship of n times the stroke width of the first limiting slot 32 and the second limiting slot 33, and n is a natural number greater than 1. Specifically, the stroke width of the first limiting groove 32 may be n times the stroke width of the second limiting groove 33: T1=n×T2, or it may be the stroke of the second limiting groove 33 The width is n times the stroke width of the first limiting groove 32: T2=n×T1. It can be understood that the size relationship between the stroke width of the first limit slot 32 and the second limit slot 33 determines the angle between the sheet-like swing member 11 in the swing state and the vertical direction, thereby determining the mirror or The deflection of the beam on the reflective surface further affects the vertical field of view of the radar. Therefore, those skilled in the art can, according to actual needs, consider the size of the vertical field of view of the radar in the embodiment of the present invention and the splitting requirements. Set the size of n. In an embodiment of the present invention, n=2 and T1=n×T2 can be selected. At this time, the corresponding sheet-shaped swing member 11 may also have 4 states, and when the sheet-shaped swing member 11 is in the first swing state When the sequence of the second swing state, the third swing state, the fourth swing state, and then back to the first swing state is switched in turn, the deflection of the light beam between adjacent swing states The angle difference is the same, so the beam can be deflected relatively uniformly to achieve uniform detection.
比如如图3A所示,片状摆动部件11在第一摆动状态时的反射面的延伸方向与竖直方向的夹角为γ1;如图3B所示,片状摆动部件11在第二摆动状态时的反射面的延伸方向与竖直方向的夹角为γ2;如图3C所示,片状摆动部件11在第三摆动状态时的反射面的延伸方向与竖直方向的夹角为γ3;如图3D所示,片状摆动部件11在第四摆动状态时的反射面的延伸方向与竖直方向的夹角为γ4,则|γ2-γ1|=|γ4-γ3|,|γ3-γ2|=|γ4-γ1|。需要说明的是,反射面的延伸方向与竖直方向的夹角与反射镜110的法线方向与水平方向的夹角相同,为示意方便,在图3A-图3D中,均以反射镜110的法线方向与水平方向的夹角示出。并且,定义若从反射镜110的法线方向至水平方向为顺时针旋转,则反射镜110的法线方向与水平方向的夹角的角度数值为正值,如图3C与图3D中,夹角的角度数值γ3与γ4均为正值。若从反射镜110的法线方向至水平方向为逆时针旋转,则反射镜110的法线方向与水平方向的夹角的角度数值为负值,如图3A与图3B中,夹角的角度数值γ1与γ2均为负值。For example, as shown in FIG. 3A, the angle between the extending direction of the reflecting surface and the vertical direction of the sheet-shaped swinging member 11 in the first swing state is γ1; as shown in FIG. 3B, the sheet-shaped swinging member 11 is in the second swinging state. The angle between the extension direction of the reflecting surface and the vertical direction is γ2; as shown in FIG. 3C, the angle between the extension direction of the reflecting surface and the vertical direction when the sheet-like swing member 11 is in the third swing state is γ3; As shown in Fig. 3D, the angle between the extending direction of the reflecting surface and the vertical direction of the sheet-like swing member 11 in the fourth swing state is γ4, then |γ2-γ1|=|γ4-γ3|, |γ3-γ2 |=|γ4-γ1|. It should be noted that the angle between the extending direction of the reflecting surface and the vertical direction is the same as the angle between the normal direction of the reflecting mirror 110 and the horizontal direction. For ease of illustration, in FIGS. 3A-3D, the reflecting mirror 110 is used. The angle between the normal direction and the horizontal direction is shown. Moreover, it is defined that if the direction from the normal direction of the mirror 110 to the horizontal direction is clockwise rotation, the angle value of the angle between the normal direction of the mirror 110 and the horizontal direction is a positive value, as shown in Figs. 3C and 3D, The angle values γ3 and γ4 of the angle are both positive. If the mirror 110 rotates counterclockwise from the normal direction to the horizontal direction, the angle between the normal direction of the mirror 110 and the horizontal direction is a negative value, as shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, the angle Both the values γ1 and γ2 are negative values.
在本发明一实施例中,该第一限位槽32的中心线与该第二限位槽33的中心线所形成的面,平行于该摆镜的反射面110,因此摆镜整个的结构相对对称,可以降低雷达结构的复杂程度。In an embodiment of the present invention, the surface formed by the center line of the first limiting groove 32 and the center line of the second limiting groove 33 is parallel to the reflecting surface 110 of the pendulum mirror, so the entire structure of the pendulum mirror The relative symmetry can reduce the complexity of the radar structure.
继续参考图3可见,本发明实施例中的摆镜还包括:弹性部件35,该弹性部件35的一端固定连接于该壳体30的内部,该弹性部件35的另一端通过悬挂梁,采用焊接的方式来抵接于该片状摆动部件11的后方表面,该弹性部件35可以选用弹簧,该弹性部件35用于将该片状摆动部件11在该壳体30的内部从后方推向前方,以确保该片状摆动部件11 可以在该壳体30内部灵活摆动。在本发明另一实施例中,所述弹性部件35可以用于悬挂所述片状摆动部件11,使得所述片状摆动部件11前后平移或者俯仰方向旋转。3, it can be seen that the swing mirror in the embodiment of the present invention further includes: an elastic member 35, one end of the elastic member 35 is fixedly connected to the inside of the housing 30, and the other end of the elastic member 35 is welded through a suspension beam To abut against the rear surface of the sheet-shaped swinging member 11, the elastic member 35 may be a spring. The elastic member 35 is used to push the sheet-shaped swinging member 11 from the rear to the front inside the housing 30, In order to ensure that the sheet-shaped swinging component 11 can flexibly swing inside the housing 30. In another embodiment of the present invention, the elastic member 35 may be used to suspend the sheet-shaped swinging member 11, so that the sheet-shaped swinging member 11 is translated back and forth or rotated in a pitch direction.
为了使得本领域技术人员更好地理解和实现本发明,本发明实施例还提供了一种摆镜的驱动方法,也即通过施加驱动信号至驱动部件,来驱动该片状摆动部件在该壳体内摆动。In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a method for driving a swing mirror, that is, by applying a driving signal to the driving component, the sheet-shaped swinging component is driven in the housing. Swing in the body.
还是继续参考图3中,用以控制摆镜的控制元件可以控制施加第一驱动信号至该第一驱动装置143,以推拉片状摆动部件11的顶端;控制施加第二驱动信号至第二驱动装置144,以推拉片状摆动部件11的底端,从而驱动该片状摆动部件11在该第一摆动状态、该第二摆动状态、该第三摆动状态及该第四摆动状态中切换。Still referring to FIG. 3, the control element used to control the swing mirror can control the application of a first drive signal to the first drive device 143 to push and pull the top end of the sheet-like swing member 11; control the application of a second drive signal to the second drive The device 144 pushes and pulls the bottom end of the sheet-shaped swing member 11 to drive the sheet-shaped swing member 11 to switch between the first swing state, the second swing state, the third swing state, and the fourth swing state.
在具体实施中,可以分时施加该第一驱动信号与该第二驱动信号,以驱动该片状摆动部件11按该第一摆动状态、该第二摆动状态、该第三摆动状态、该第四摆动状态、再回到该第一摆动状态的顺序依次循环切换,从而可以降低雷达的复杂度。In a specific implementation, the first drive signal and the second drive signal can be applied in a time-sharing manner to drive the sheet-like swing member 11 in the first swing state, the second swing state, the third swing state, and the first swing state. The order of the four swing states and then back to the first swing state is switched in turn, thereby reducing the complexity of the radar.
为了确保片状摆动部件11的端(顶端和/或底端)尽量较轻地从限位槽(第一限位槽32和/或第二限位槽33)的一侧突缘抵靠至限位槽的另外一侧突缘,而避免直接碰撞上去,且若推动片状摆动部件11时所采用的第一驱动信号为正向信号,拉动片状摆动部件11时所采用的第一驱动信号为负向信号,在具体实施中,可以调整该第一驱动信号,比如先采用正向的第一驱动信号,再采用负向的第一驱动信号,以驱动该片状摆动部件11的顶端先以加速、后以减速运动,最终相对较稳地运动至该第一限位槽32的前方或后方突缘。类似地,也可以调整该第二驱动信号,,比如先采用正向的第二驱动信号,再采用负向的第二驱动信号,以驱动该片状摆动部件11的底端先以加速、后以减速,并最终相对较稳地运动至该第二限位槽33的前方或后方突缘。换言之,当采用线圈143及144驱动摆镜做摆动状态切换的时候,因为是通过限位槽控制倾角,因此可以尽量避免反馈控制,而可以通过调节线圈143及144的电流方向和幅度,以及驱动的时长来对磁钢141及142做推拉动作,目的是要 使得摆镜在切换时长Δt内切换到下一个摆动状态。In order to ensure that the end (top end and/or bottom end) of the sheet-like swinging member 11 is as light as possible from one side of the limiting groove (the first limiting groove 32 and/or the second limiting groove 33) The flange on the other side of the limit slot avoids direct collision, and if the first driving signal used when pushing the sheet-like swinging part 11 is a positive signal, the first driving signal used when pulling the sheet-like swinging part 11 The signal is a negative signal. In specific implementations, the first driving signal can be adjusted. For example, a positive first driving signal is used first, and then a negative first driving signal is used to drive the top of the sheet-like swinging member 11 The movement is first accelerated and then decelerated, and finally moves relatively stably to the front or rear flange of the first limiting groove 32. Similarly, the second drive signal can also be adjusted. For example, a positive second drive signal is used first, and then a negative second drive signal is used to drive the bottom end of the sheet-like swinging member 11 to accelerate first, then To decelerate, and finally move relatively stably to the front or rear flange of the second limiting groove 33. In other words, when the coils 143 and 144 are used to drive the swing mirror to switch the swing state, because the inclination angle is controlled by the limit slot, feedback control can be avoided as much as possible, and the current direction and amplitude of the coils 143 and 144 can be adjusted, and the driving The purpose of pushing and pulling the magnets 141 and 142 is to make the swing mirror switch to the next swing state within the switching time Δt.
如果第一驱动信号为OUT1,第二驱动信号为OUT2,则每次摆动状态切换的时候,都存在如下三个时序。若某一端原来的位置为0(对应左边),现在要切换到1(对应右边),则先加速(OUT1=1)达时长TA1,然后减速(OUT1=0)达时长TD1,然后锁定于该摆动状态(OUT=1),直到下一次摆动状态的切换。整个切换过程中,摆镜的另一个端的线圈的驱动信号OUT2的状态不变。而下次摆动状态切换的时候,OUT1不变,OUT2重复上述过程。If the first driving signal is OUT1 and the second driving signal is OUT2, the following three timings exist every time the swing state is switched. If the original position of a certain end is 0 (corresponding to the left), and now you want to switch to 1 (corresponding to the right), first accelerate (OUT1=1) for TA1, then decelerate (OUT1=0) for TD1, and then lock to this Swing state (OUT=1) until the next swing state switch. During the entire switching process, the state of the drive signal OUT2 of the coil at the other end of the swing mirror remains unchanged. When the swing state is switched next time, OUT1 remains unchanged, and OUT2 repeats the above process.
在具体实施中,可以设置TA1>TD1,TA1+TD1<Δt,从而可以使得片状摆动部件11能轻轻地扣在另外一边,而不至于撞上去,可以降低损耗。每次摆镜状态切换的时候,所需要的加速时长和减速时长都可以独立控制,从而增加控制的灵活性。In a specific implementation, TA1>TD1, TA1+TD1<Δt can be set, so that the sheet-like swinging member 11 can be gently buckled on the other side without hitting it, which can reduce the loss. Each time the state of the swing mirror is switched, the required acceleration time and deceleration time can be independently controlled, thereby increasing the flexibility of control.

Wherein, a plurality of light emitters 41 are used to emit detection beams, and the plurality of light emitters 41 are arranged along the vertical direction of the lidar, and the detection beams emitted by the plurality of light emitters 41 have different vertical field angles. The rotating mirror 44 is arranged at the focal plane position of the emitting lens assembly 43, and the image formed on the rotating mirror 44 by the probe beam collimated by the emitting lens assembly 43 is also the image formed on the focal plane. The rotating shafts of the swing mirror 42 and the rotating mirror 44 are perpendicular to each other.
在具体实施中,摆镜42可以采用以上实施例中的任一种结构来实现,也可以采用其他的方式实现,包括但不限于比如采用一维振镜、旋转棱镜、液晶、使用电子信号来操纵的一个或多个光学相控阵列或者电机驱动的机械件,只要该摆镜42可以将入射后的任意一束探测光束偏折至发射透镜组件43上的不同的位置,进而在经过发射透镜组件43准直后,在该发射透镜组件43的焦平面上,一般也是转镜44上,所成的像在垂直方向上有不同的平移或者分散即可。In the specific implementation, the pendulum mirror 42 can be realized by any structure in the above embodiments, and can also be realized in other ways, including but not limited to, for example, using a one-dimensional galvanometer, rotating prism, liquid crystal, and using electronic signals to Operate one or more optical phased arrays or motor-driven mechanical parts, as long as the pendulum mirror 42 can deflect any probe beam after incident to a different position on the emitting lens assembly 43, and then pass the emitting lens After the assembly 43 is collimated, on the focal plane of the emission lens assembly 43, which is generally on the rotating mirror 44, the image formed can have different translation or dispersion in the vertical direction.
在本发明一实施例中,该摆镜42采用以上实施例中的任一种结构 加以实现,也即一种能够在垂直方向上进行俯仰摆动,具备N个(比如为4个)摆动状态,且能够在该N个摆动状态或者选择N个中的部分(比如3个)摆动状态依次进行切换的结构。在此情况下,处于不同摆动状态下的摆镜42可以分别具有不同的俯仰倾角,进而对于任意某一束探测光束,处于不同摆动状态下的摆镜42可以将该某一束探测光束偏折至所述发射透镜组件43的不同位置,从而使得该探测光束经过该发射透镜组件43的准直后,在该发射透镜组件43的焦平面上,也可以是该转镜44上所成的像,有位置上的相对平移,从而可以将任意一束所述探测光束分成多束垂直视场方向不同的探测子光束。由于上述实施例已经对其原理及结构进行详细阐述,此处不再赘述。In an embodiment of the present invention, the pendulum mirror 42 is realized by adopting any of the structures in the above embodiments, that is, a type capable of pitching and swinging in the vertical direction, and having N (for example, 4) swing states, And the structure can be switched in sequence in the N swing states or select some of the N swing states (for example, 3). In this case, the pendulum mirror 42 in different swing states can have different pitch angles, and for any probe beam, the pendulum mirror 42 in different swing states can deflect the probe beam. To the different positions of the emitting lens assembly 43, so that the probe beam is collimated by the emitting lens assembly 43, on the focal plane of the emitting lens assembly 43, it can also be the image formed on the rotating mirror 44 , There is relative translation in position, so that any one of the detection beams can be divided into multiple detection sub-beams with different vertical field of view directions. Since the foregoing embodiment has described its principle and structure in detail, it will not be repeated here.
发射透镜组件43,可以用于对被该摆镜42偏折后的探测光束进行准直。The emitting lens assembly 43 can be used to collimate the probe beam deflected by the swing mirror 42.
转镜44,固定于转子上,并且绕该转子的沿垂直方向设置的转轴进行转动,用于将该探测光束反射至待测空间,以实现该探测光束在水平方向上的扫描。具体地,该转镜44具有M个反射面且M个反射面与该摆镜42配合着同步协调工作,其中M为大于等于2的正整数。并且,为了便于说明,在图4A中,转镜44具有2个反射面,分别为反射面M11及反射面M12,且二者平行相对设置。图4C示出了本发明实施例中的另一种激光雷达的发射装置的结构的侧面示意图,其中M=2,可以理解图4A为t1时刻的发射装置的示意图,图4C为(t1+Δt)时刻的发射装置的示意图,选择m方向作为参考的零度方向,或者说转镜44开始旋转的初始0°方向,则对比图4A与图4C可见,转镜44一直在绕转轴转动,在t1时刻,转镜44的其中一个发射面M11的镜面法线与m方向的夹角为

The rotating mirror 44 is fixed on the rotor and rotates around the rotating shaft of the rotor arranged in the vertical direction to reflect the probe beam to the space to be measured, so as to realize the scanning of the probe beam in the horizontal direction. Specifically, the rotating mirror 44 has M reflecting surfaces and the M reflecting surfaces cooperate with the swing mirror 42 to work synchronously and in coordination, where M is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2. In addition, for ease of description, in FIG. 4A, the rotating mirror 44 has two reflective surfaces, namely a reflective surface M11 and a reflective surface M12, and the two are arranged oppositely in parallel. 4C shows a schematic side view of the structure of another laser radar transmitting device in an embodiment of the present invention, where M=2, it can be understood that FIG. 4A is a schematic diagram of the transmitting device at time t1, and FIG. 4C is (t1+Δt ) The schematic diagram of the launching device at time. The m direction is selected as the reference zero-degree direction, or the initial 0° direction at which the rotating mirror 44 starts to rotate. Comparing Figures 4A and 4C, it can be seen that the rotating mirror 44 has been rotating around the axis of rotation. At the moment, the angle between the mirror normal of one of the emission surfaces M11 of the rotating mirror 44 and the m direction is

In addition, FIG. 4D shows a schematic side view of the structure of a laser radar transmitting device in an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4E shows a schematic side view of the structure of a laser radar transmitting device in an embodiment of the present invention. In FIGS. 4D and 4E, M is 4, and the four reflecting surfaces of the rotating mirror 44 are M11, M12, M13, and M14 respectively. FIG. 4D is a schematic diagram of the transmitting device at time t3, and FIG. 4E is (t3+Δt) In the schematic diagram of the launching device at time, the m direction is also selected as the reference zero-degree direction, or the initial 0° direction at which the rotating mirror 44 starts to rotate. Comparing Figure 4D with Figure 4E, it can also be seen that the rotating mirror 44 has been rotating around the axis of rotation. At time t3, the angle between the mirror normal of one of the emitting surfaces M11 of the rotating mirror 44 and the m direction is

因此,本领域技术人员在实际应用中可以根据需要设置M的大小及反射面的相对位置,此处的示例并不限制本申请。Therefore, those skilled in the art can set the size of M and the relative position of the reflecting surface as required in practical applications, and the examples here do not limit the application.
需要说明的是,在图4A、图4B、图4C、图4D及图4E中可见,转镜44顺时针旋转,只是一种示意,以方便本领域技术人员的理解,但该示意不构成对本申请的限制。在本发明另一实施例中,转镜44也可以逆时针旋转。It should be noted that in FIGS. 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, and 4E, it can be seen that the rotating mirror 44 rotates clockwise, which is just a schematic to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art, but the schematic does not constitute a reference to the present invention. Application restrictions. In another embodiment of the present invention, the rotating mirror 44 can also be rotated counterclockwise.
在具体实施中,该摆镜42可以绕着转轴摆动,摆动到不同的位置,可以呈现出N个摆动状态,处于不同摆动状态的摆镜42分别具有不同的俯仰倾角。图4F示出了本发明实施例中的另一种激光雷达的发射装置的结构的侧面示意图,对比图4A与图4F可见,摆镜42可以处于不同的摆动状态,在图4A中,摆镜42可处于第一摆动状态,俯仰倾角为γ1;在4F中,摆镜42可处于第二摆动状态,俯仰倾角为γ2。并且,该摆镜42能够在该N个摆动状态之间依次进行切换,其中N为大于等于2的正整数。可以理解的是,N的大小与第一定位槽及第二定位槽的设置有关。另外,所述摆镜42可以按所述第一摆动状态、所述第二摆动状态、所述第三摆动状态、所述第四摆动状态、再回到所述第一摆动状态的顺序依次循环切换,所述摆镜42也可以只是选取其中一部分状态切换,比如可以选取在所述第三摆动状态、所述第四摆动状态、再回到第三摆动状态的顺序切换。In a specific implementation, the swing mirror 42 can swing around the rotating shaft, swing to different positions, and can present N swing states. The swing mirror 42 in different swing states has different pitch angles. 4F shows a schematic side view of the structure of another laser radar transmitting device in an embodiment of the present invention. Comparing FIGS. 4A and 4F, it can be seen that the pendulum mirror 42 can be in different swing states. In FIG. 4A, the pendulum mirror 42 can be in the first swing state, and the pitch angle is γ1; in 4F, the swing mirror 42 can be in the second swing state, and the pitch angle is γ2. In addition, the swing mirror 42 can sequentially switch between the N swing states, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2. It can be understood that the size of N is related to the arrangement of the first positioning groove and the second positioning groove. In addition, the swing mirror 42 can be cycled in the order of the first swing state, the second swing state, the third swing state, the fourth swing state, and then back to the first swing state. Switching, the swing mirror 42 may also select only a part of the state to switch, for example, it may be selected in the third swing state, the fourth swing state, and then back to the third swing state.
由于摆镜具备多个摆动状态(N个),转镜具有多个反射面(M个),故为了更好的配合,该摆镜与该转镜需要进行一定的同步以及协调,并且整个激光雷达的帧频与摆镜及转镜的运动频率之间也可以存在不同的配合时序,以便于用户根据需求进行线束及帧率的切换。Since the swing mirror has multiple swing states (N), and the rotating mirror has multiple reflective surfaces (M), in order to better match, the swing mirror and the rotating mirror need to be synchronized and coordinated to a certain extent, and the entire laser There may also be different coordination timings between the frame frequency of the radar and the movement frequency of the swing mirror and the rotating mirror, so that users can switch the wiring harness and frame rate according to their needs.
在本发明的一些实施例中,可以不驱动摆镜,而只是驱动转镜, 此时摆镜类似于一面反射镜。若垂直方向上依次排列的光发射器为16个,帧频为X1HZ,转镜的转动频率为2X1HZ,此时雷达可以对周边环境扫描得到16线的点云数据。而且,如果垂直方向上依次排列的光发射器为16个,帧频为X1HZ,转镜的转动频率为4X1HZ,此时雷达对周边环境扫描也是可以得到16线的点云数据,但相比于2X1HZ频率的转镜所获得的点云,该16线的点云更密。需要说明的是,一幅点云图像代表一帧,对应到激光雷达内部就是如电机类的旋转装置旋转一圈完成扫描。而帧频为一秒钟内激光雷达的旋转装置,比如转镜44或者电机所旋转的圈数,也就是每秒钟激光雷达完成一圈扫描的次数,帧频也代表了激光雷达所获取到的点云数据更新的频率。例如,某一激光雷达工作在10HZ的帧频,则表示该激光雷达的旋转装置每秒转10圈。In some embodiments of the present invention, the swing mirror may not be driven, but only the rotating mirror. At this time, the swing mirror is similar to a reflecting mirror. If there are 16 light emitters arranged in sequence in the vertical direction, the frame frequency is X1HZ, and the rotating frequency of the rotating mirror is 2X1HZ, the radar can scan the surrounding environment to obtain 16-line point cloud data. Moreover, if there are 16 light emitters arranged in sequence in the vertical direction, the frame frequency is X1HZ, and the rotation frequency of the rotating mirror is 4X1HZ, at this time, the radar scanning the surrounding environment can also obtain 16-line point cloud data, but compared to The point cloud obtained by the rotating mirror with the frequency of 2X1HZ, the 16-line point cloud is more dense. It should be noted that a point cloud image represents a frame, which corresponds to a rotating device such as a motor to complete the scan inside the lidar. The frame rate is the rotation device of the lidar in one second, such as the number of turns of the rotating mirror 44 or the motor, which is the number of times the lidar completes one scan per second. The frame rate also represents what the lidar can obtain The frequency of point cloud data update. For example, if a laser radar works at a frame rate of 10HZ, it means that the rotating device of the laser radar rotates 10 times per second.
在本发明的另一些实施例中,可以在不大于该转镜的相邻两个反射面先后进行两次水平方向上的扫描之间的间隔时间内,该摆镜从一个摆动状态切换至下一个摆动状态,换言之,摆镜处于任一个摆动状态达一定的时长,在这段时长内,转镜的一个反射面进行一次水平方向或者水平角度上的扫描。In some other embodiments of the present invention, the swing mirror can be switched from a swing state to a lower one within an interval not greater than the interval between two successive horizontal scans of the two adjacent reflective surfaces of the rotating mirror. A swing state, in other words, the swing mirror is in any swing state for a certain period of time. During this period of time, a reflection surface of the rotating mirror performs a horizontal scan in a horizontal direction or a horizontal angle.
比如,当M=2,N=2,转镜的两个反射面M11及M12相对平行设置,而摆镜具备第一摆动状态及第二摆动状态。则摆镜与该转镜的同步以及协调可以参考表1,具体而言:For example, when M=2 and N=2, the two reflecting surfaces M11 and M12 of the rotating mirror are arranged relatively parallel, and the swing mirror has a first swing state and a second swing state. Then the synchronization and coordination of the swing mirror and the rotating mirror can refer to Table 1. Specifically:
在t0时刻,摆镜进入第一摆动状态,在t1时刻(t1时刻可以为t0时刻,也可以是晚于t0时刻)至t2时刻段内,摆镜保持处于第一摆动状态,而t0至t1时刻,可以是转镜的反射面不开始工作,也可以是发射器不发射探测光束,总归此t0时刻至t1时刻这一时间段内转镜不进行水平方向的扫描,而处于第一摆动状态的摆镜的反射面的延伸方向与垂直方向的夹角为γ1(参考图3A与图4A),从t1时刻开始,摆镜的反射面将入射的光束偏转后,入射至转镜的M11面,而转镜的M11面在t1时刻至t2时刻这一时间段内在水平方向上绕着转轴从

Figure PCTCN2019101163-appb-000006
(参考图4C),完成一次水平方向上的扫描。接着,在t3时刻(t3时刻可以为t2时刻,也可以为晚于t2的时刻)至t4时刻这段时间 内,摆镜从第一摆动状态切换至第二摆动状态,转镜继续旋转,但该段时间内转镜无反射面偏折入射光束和/或发射器不发射探测光束,甚至就是转镜的反射面不开始工作,总归此t3时刻至t4时刻这一时间段内转镜不进行水平方向的扫描,处于第二摆动状态的摆镜的反射面的延伸方向与垂直方向的夹角为γ2(参考图3B以及图4F),在t5时刻(t5时刻可以为t4时刻,也可以为晚于t4的时刻),转镜的M12面旋转至可以接收到经处于第二摆动状态下的摆镜偏折后的入射光束且开始工作,并继续在接下来的t5时刻至t6时刻的时间段内,摆镜也一直保持第二摆动状态,而转镜的M12面绕着转轴从

At t0, the swing mirror enters the first swing state. From t1 (time t1 can be t0 or later than t0) to t2, the swing mirror remains in the first swing state, and from t0 to t1 At the moment, it can be that the reflective surface of the rotating mirror does not start to work, or the transmitter does not emit the probe beam. In the end, the rotating mirror does not scan in the horizontal direction during the period from time t0 to time t1, and is in the first swing state. The angle between the extending direction of the reflecting surface of the pendulum mirror and the vertical direction is γ1 (refer to Figure 3A and Figure 4A). Starting at t1, the reflecting surface of the pendulum mirror deflects the incident light beam and then enters the M11 surface of the turning mirror , And the M11 surface of the rotating mirror moves around the axis of rotation in the horizontal direction from t1 to t2.

表3table 3
在具体实施中,该光发射器发射的探测光束的垂直视场角在该激光雷达的垂直方向上的扫描的视场范围内均匀分布,从而可以在垂直视场上实现均匀的扫描。In a specific implementation, the vertical field of view of the probe beam emitted by the optical transmitter is evenly distributed within the field of view scanned in the vertical direction of the lidar, so that uniform scanning can be achieved in the vertical field of view.
在具体实施中,若设定相邻的两个该光发射器发射的探测光束的垂直视场角之间的差值为α度,设定任意一束该探测光束经处于相邻两个摆动状态的该摆镜分别偏折后的垂直视场角之间的差值为β度,则差值角度α与差值角度β之间存在如下的比例关系:In the specific implementation, if the difference between the vertical field angles of the two adjacent probe beams emitted by the light emitter is set to be α degrees, set any one of the probe beams to be in two adjacent swings. The difference between the vertical viewing angles of the swing mirror in the state of being deflected is β degrees, and the following proportional relationship exists between the difference angle α and the difference angle β:
其中α=β*N;Where α=β*N;
其中N为摆镜具有的摆动状态的个数,因此可以看到,经过处于 N种不同摆动状态的摆镜的偏折,对任意一束经准直后的探测光束,均可以被分成且是等分成N束垂直视场方向不同的探测子光束,并且这N束垂直视场方向不同的探测子光束并非同一时间点产生,而是在摆镜静止处于N种摆动状态中的之一时,相继一一产生的。另外,经过控制定位槽的相对大小关系及摆动状态之间的切换时序,可以确保N束垂直视场方向不同的探测子光束彼此之间的垂直视场夹角相同。因此,通过采用本发明实施例的雷达的发射端,可以在不改变激光发射器数量的前提下提高垂直扫描的线束,故可以降低雷达的成本及复杂度。Where N is the number of swing states of the pendulum mirror, so it can be seen that after the deflection of the pendulum mirror in N different swing states, any collimated probe beam can be divided into It is equally divided into N detection sub-beams with different vertical field of view directions, and these N detection sub-beams with different vertical field of view directions are not generated at the same time point, but when the swing mirror is stationary in one of the N swing states, successively One by one. In addition, by controlling the relative size relationship of the positioning grooves and the switching timing between the swing states, it can be ensured that the vertical viewing angles of the N detection sub-beams with different vertical viewing directions are the same. Therefore, by using the transmitting end of the radar of the embodiment of the present invention, the vertical scanning line beam can be increased without changing the number of laser transmitters, so the cost and complexity of the radar can be reduced.
为了进一步提高激光雷达的垂直视场的线束,在本发明一实施例中,该转镜的M个反射面中的至少两个反射面可以相对于垂直方向分别设置有不同的俯仰倾角。详细地说,即对M面转镜增加设置俯仰倾角,这一俯仰倾角就是与转镜的转轴(也就是垂直方向)的夹角。由于转镜的M面反射面会对入射的探测光束产生镜面效应,当M面反射面均平行于垂直方向,也即M面反射面的俯仰倾角均为零时,则入射的探测光束经过转镜的反射面的反射后,可以由相对于水平面对称的方向反射出去。而对M面中任一反射面而言,当反射面存在一个轻微的不为零的俯仰倾角时,就会使得反射出去的探测光束也发生不同的偏转。而若每一发射面的俯仰倾角不同,就产生垂直视场方向不同的探测光束,当配合着,转镜绕转轴旋转时,就会产生垂直视场方向不同的线束的扫描轨迹。当然,当M面转镜绕转轴旋转时,从面对入射的探测光束的方向,到逐渐远离并与入射的光束接近平行时,转镜的俯仰倾角效应会逐渐消失。因此,扫描线在仿真结果的左侧很均匀的分布,到了右侧,每相邻的M条扫描线会汇聚在一起。In order to further improve the line beam of the vertical field of view of the lidar, in an embodiment of the present invention, at least two of the M reflecting surfaces of the rotating mirror may be respectively provided with different pitch angles relative to the vertical direction. In detail, the pitch angle is added to the M-plane rotating mirror, and this pitch angle is the angle between the rotating mirror axis (that is, the vertical direction). Since the M-surface reflecting surface of the rotating mirror produces a mirror effect on the incident probe beam, when the M-surface reflecting surface is parallel to the vertical direction, that is, when the pitch angle of the M-surface reflecting surface is zero, the incident probe beam passes through the rotating mirror After the reflection of the reflecting surface, it can be reflected in a symmetrical direction with respect to the horizontal plane. For any reflecting surface in the M plane, when the reflecting surface has a slight non-zero pitch angle, the reflected probe beam will also be deflected differently. If the pitch angle of each emitting surface is different, the detection beams with different vertical field of view directions will be generated. When matched, the rotating mirror rotates around the axis of rotation, and the scanning trajectories of the line beams with different vertical field of view directions will be generated. Of course, when the M-plane rotating mirror rotates around the axis of rotation, the pitch effect of the rotating mirror will gradually disappear from the direction facing the incident probe beam to gradually moving away from and approaching parallel to the incident beam. Therefore, the scan lines are evenly distributed on the left side of the simulation result, and to the right side, every adjacent M scan lines will converge.

需要说明的是,关于摆镜与转镜的同步等控制,在上述实施例中已经详细阐述,在此不再赘述。It should be noted that the synchronization and other control of the swing mirror and the rotating mirror have been described in detail in the foregoing embodiment, and will not be repeated here.
为更好地说明本发明实施例中的激光雷达的扫描效果,图7示出了本发明实施例中的一种激光雷达的扫描轨迹示意图,光发射器为4个LD,该4个LD沿垂直方向均匀地依次排布,摆镜具有N=2个摆动状态:第一摆动状态及第二摆动状态,对应反射面或者反射镜具有2种与垂直方向的倾角:γ1(参考图3A)及γ2(参考图3B),转镜具有2个反射面,且2个反射面均平行于垂直方向,图7的横轴为水平方向扫描视场,纵轴为垂直方向扫描视场。如图7所示,可以看到8条在垂直视场上比较均匀的扫描线,这是由于每个LD发射出的一束探测光束可以分别被处于第一摆动状态或第二摆动状态的摆镜所偏折,以等分地形成两束垂直扫描方向不同的探测光束,摆镜对线束进行了扩充,再借助转镜绕转轴的旋转达到水平方向的扫描,可以得到8条扫描线。可以理解的是,上述的扫描线即为探测光束扫描所形成的。另外,在图7中,分别标出了γ1以及γ2分别对应的扫描线。In order to better illustrate the scanning effect of the laser radar in the embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 7 shows a schematic diagram of the scanning trajectory of a laser radar in the embodiment of the present invention. The optical transmitters are 4 LDs, and the 4 LDs along Arranged evenly in the vertical direction, the swing mirror has N=2 swing states: the first swing state and the second swing state, and the corresponding reflecting surface or mirror has two tilt angles with the vertical direction: γ1 (refer to Figure 3A) and γ2 (refer to Fig. 3B), the rotating mirror has two reflecting surfaces, and the two reflecting surfaces are parallel to the vertical direction. The horizontal axis of Fig. 7 is the horizontal scanning field of view, and the vertical axis is the vertical scanning field of view. As shown in Figure 7, 8 scanning lines that are relatively uniform in the vertical field of view can be seen. This is because a probe beam emitted by each LD can be driven by the pendulum in the first swing state or the second swing state. The mirror is deflected to form two detection beams with different vertical scanning directions in equal parts. The swing mirror expands the line beam, and then rotates the rotating mirror around the axis to achieve horizontal scanning, and 8 scanning lines can be obtained. It can be understood that the above-mentioned scanning lines are formed by the scanning of the probe beam. In addition, in FIG. 7, the scan lines corresponding to γ1 and γ2 are respectively marked.
图8示出了本发明实施例中的一种激光雷达的扫描轨迹示意图,光发射器为4个LD,该4个LD沿垂直方向均匀地依次排布,摆镜具有N=4个摆动状态:第一摆动状态、第二摆动状态、第三摆动状态及第四摆动状态,对应反射面或者反射镜具有4种与激光雷达的垂直方向的倾角:γ1(参考图3A)、γ2(参考图3B)、γ3(参考图3C)及γ4(参考图3D),转镜具有2个反射面,且2个反射面均可以平行于垂直方向,图8的横轴表征激光雷达的水平方向扫描角度,纵轴表征激光雷达的垂直方向扫描角度。如图8所示,可以看到16条在垂直视场上比较均匀的 扫描线,这是由于每个LD发射出的一束探测光束可以分别被处于第一摆动状态、第二摆动状态、第三摆动状态或第四摆动状态的摆镜所偏折,以在垂直视场上,均分地形成四束垂直扫描方向不同的探测光束,摆镜对线束进行了扩充,再借助转镜绕转轴的旋转达到水平方向的扫描,可以得到16条扫描线。另外,在图8中,分别标出了γ1、γ2、γ3以及γ4分别对应的扫描线。Fig. 8 shows a schematic diagram of the scanning trajectory of a laser radar in an embodiment of the present invention. The light emitters are 4 LDs, which are evenly arranged in a vertical direction, and the swing mirror has N=4 swing states. : The first swing state, the second swing state, the third swing state, and the fourth swing state. The corresponding reflecting surface or mirror has four tilt angles to the vertical direction of the lidar: γ1 (refer to Figure 3A), γ2 (refer to Figure 3A) 3B), γ3 (refer to Figure 3C) and γ4 (refer to Figure 3D), the rotating mirror has 2 reflective surfaces, and both reflective surfaces can be parallel to the vertical direction. The horizontal axis of Figure 8 represents the horizontal scanning angle of the lidar , The vertical axis represents the vertical scanning angle of the lidar. As shown in Figure 8, 16 scan lines that are relatively uniform in the vertical field of view can be seen. This is because a probe beam emitted by each LD can be in the first swing state, the second swing state, and the second swing state. The pendulum mirror in the three swing state or the fourth swing state is deflected to form four detection beams with different vertical scanning directions equally in the vertical field of view. The pendulum mirror expands the line beam, and then rotates the axis with the help of the rotating mirror The rotation reaches the horizontal scan, and 16 scan lines can be obtained. In addition, in FIG. 8, the scan lines corresponding to γ1, γ2, γ3, and γ4 are respectively marked.
图9示出了本发明实施例中的一种激光雷达的扫描轨迹示意图,光发射器为4个LD,分别为LD1、L,2、LD3及LD4,该4个LD沿垂直方向均匀地依次排布,摆镜具有N=4个摆动状态:第一摆动状态、第二摆动状态、第三摆动状态及第四摆动状态,对应反射面或者反射镜具有4种与垂直方向的倾角:γ1(参考图3A)、γ2(参考图3B)、γ3(参考图3C)及γ4(参考图3D),转镜的2个反射面(分别为M11与M12)与垂直方向均具有不为零的夹角,夹角可以为δ1及δ2。图9的横轴为水平方向扫描角度,纵轴为垂直方向扫描角度。如图9所示,可以看到32条在垂直视场上的扫描线,一部分原因是与图8中对应的实施例类似地,每个LD发射出的一束探测光束可以分别被处于第一摆动状态、第二摆动状态、第三摆动状态或第四摆动状态的摆镜所偏折,以在垂直视场上,均分地形成四束垂直扫描方向不同的探测光束,摆镜对线束进行了扩充,另一部分的原因是由于带有倾角的转镜的反射面也对线束在垂直方向上进行了扩充,转镜绕转轴的旋转又达到水平方向的扫描,因此共形成了32条扫描线。另外,可以看到扫描线在左侧还是较均匀的分布,但是到了右侧,每相邻的两条扫描线则近乎汇聚到了一起。这个左右侧的不均匀产生的原因则是如之前所述,当多面转镜绕转轴旋转时,从面对入射的探测光束的方向,到逐渐远离并与入射的光束接近平行时,转镜的俯仰倾角效应会逐渐消失。因此,扫描线在仿真结果的左侧很均匀的分布,到了右侧,每相邻的多条扫描线会汇聚在一起。Fig. 9 shows a schematic diagram of the scanning trajectory of a laser radar in an embodiment of the present invention. The light emitters are 4 LDs, namely LD1, L, 2, LD3, and LD4. The 4 LDs are uniformly and sequentially in the vertical direction. Arrangement, the swing mirror has N=4 swing states: the first swing state, the second swing state, the third swing state and the fourth swing state. The corresponding reflecting surface or mirror has 4 tilt angles to the vertical direction: γ1( Refer to Figure 3A), γ2 (refer to Figure 3B), γ3 (refer to Figure 3C) and γ4 (refer to Figure 3D), the two reflective surfaces of the rotating mirror (respectively M11 and M12) and the vertical direction have a non-zero clip Angle, the included angle can be δ1 and δ2. The horizontal axis of FIG. 9 is the horizontal scanning angle, and the vertical axis is the vertical scanning angle. As shown in Figure 9, 32 scan lines in the vertical field of view can be seen. Part of the reason is that similar to the corresponding embodiment in Figure 8, one probe beam emitted by each LD can be placed in the first position. The swing mirror in the swing state, the second swing state, the third swing state, or the fourth swing state is deflected to form four detection beams with different vertical scanning directions in the vertical field of view. The swing mirror performs Another part of the reason is that the reflecting surface of the rotating mirror with an inclination angle also expands the wire harness in the vertical direction, and the rotation of the rotating mirror around the axis of rotation reaches the horizontal scanning, so a total of 32 scan lines are formed . In addition, you can see that the scan lines are still relatively evenly distributed on the left side, but on the right side, every two adjacent scan lines are almost converged together. The reason for this unevenness on the left and right sides is that as mentioned earlier, when the polygon mirror rotates around the axis of rotation, from the direction facing the incident detection beam, to gradually moving away from and close to the incident beam, the rotation of the mirror The pitch effect will gradually disappear. Therefore, the scan lines are evenly distributed on the left side of the simulation result, and on the right side, multiple adjacent scan lines will converge together.
并且,由于在图9中线束太多,为便于说明,在图9中,按照光发射器-摆镜倾角-转镜倾角的规则对扫描线束进行了编号,比如1-1-1表示LD1-γ1-δ1,也即该扫描线束是第一个光发射器LD1,在摆镜处于第 一个摆动状态(倾角为γ1),反射面M11(夹角为δ1)绕转轴旋转后扫描所得到的线束;又比如2-1-1表示LD2-γ1-δ1,也即该扫描线束是第二个光发射器LD2,在摆镜处于第一个摆动状态(倾角为γ1),反射面M11(夹角为δ1)绕转轴旋转后扫描所得到的线束;又比如2-2-1表示LD2-γ2-δ1,也即该扫描线束是第二个光发射器LD2,在摆镜处于第二个摆动状态(倾角为γ2),反射面M11(夹角为δ1)绕转轴旋转后扫描所得到的线束;又比如2-2-2表示LD2-γ2-δ2,也即该扫描线束是第二个光发射器LD2,在摆镜处于第二个摆动状态(倾角为γ2),反射面M12(夹角为δ2)绕转轴旋转后扫描所得到的线束。Moreover, because there are too many wire harnesses in Fig. 9, for ease of explanation, in Fig. 9, the scanning wire harnesses are numbered according to the rule of light emitter-swing mirror inclination angle-rotating mirror inclination angle, for example, 1-1-1 means LD1- γ1-δ1, that is, the scanning beam is the first light emitter LD1, which is obtained by scanning after the pendulum mirror is in the first swing state (inclination angle is γ1), and the reflecting surface M11 (inclination angle is δ1) around the axis of rotation Wire harness; for example, 2-1-1 means LD2-γ1-δ1, that is, the scanning wire beam is the second light emitter LD2, and the pendulum mirror is in the first swing state (inclination angle is γ1), and the reflecting surface M11 (clamping The angle is δ1) The wire beam obtained by scanning after rotating around the axis; for example, 2-2-1 means LD2-γ2-δ1, that is, the scanning wire beam is the second light emitter LD2, and the swing mirror is in the second swing State (inclination angle is γ2), the reflecting surface M11 (angle of δ1) is rotated around the axis of rotation and scanning the obtained line beam; for example, 2-2-2 means LD2-γ2-δ2, that is, the scanning line beam is the second light The transmitter LD2 scans the obtained wire beam after the swing mirror is in the second swing state (the inclination angle is γ2) and the reflective surface M12 (the included angle is δ2) rotates around the axis of rotation.
对比图8及图9也可知,相对于对转镜的反射面设置与垂直方向的不为零的倾角,通过采用本发明实施例中的摆镜,既可以在不增多光发射器的基础上,得到多线束扫描线,又可以得到相对均匀的扫描线。Comparing FIGS. 8 and 9, it can be seen that the non-zero inclination angle with respect to the vertical direction is set with respect to the reflecting surface of the counter-rotating mirror. By using the swing mirror in the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to not increase the number of light emitters. , Get multi-beam scan lines, and you can get relatively uniform scan lines.
